Well, the train is leaving Boomtown, so I guess this is the end of the line.

In case, any of the band happen upon this blog, I'd like to thank them for everything they have ever done.

And a very big thank you for the last twelve months from Blackheath to The Roundhouse via Dublin, The Polo Club, Cork and Cambridge. I have had the best time being a fan of this marvelous band.

Don't know what I'm going to do now...

Loud and proud in Birmingham. Did consider going, but rather than returning to Euston after the last tube had long gone, I stayed in and watched the football! However it sounds like Geldof has got the same bug I have, but whilst he troops on with his tonic (groan), I curl up on the sofa.

They played.

Fleeing from the Scots, the Rats return to England! Very well informed review from The Shields Gazette even mentioning previous Rats visits to the Mayfair Ballroom and the more recent gig at The Sage, Gateshead.

They played.

The Rats head further north to Scotland. As far as I know no bagpipes used this time around unlike their trip to Loch Lomond in 1979.

They played.
